Description This is a remake of an old picture of mine.
You see, a while back I decided to draw a series of pictures with the characters from a roleplay between *Verdokai and me, called If I Could Fly.
All with this perspective and focusing on the neckregion of the characters.
Even so, I never managed to finish it, and now, years later, when I wanted to finish it, I realised that I, first of all, should redraw the old ones, seeing that there would otherwise be a huge gap quality wise.

So. Here is The King.
His name is Light, and lives his life hiding behind a steel mask, since he rules in a country where light skin is connected to Elven blood - which is hated, yes.
Unlucky Light here turned out to be albino, but since that mutation was unheard of, people would have suspected him cursed by the Elves - or even worse: a half elf - had he not hid evert inch of his skin from his people, and without any doubt killed him.

He is graceful, refined and slightly feminine, and unlike the older picture, it actually shows here.
I still adore this pose - with the mask and all - and FINALLY it looks like I want it to look.


If I Could Fly:
The King
The Jester
The Ambassador
The Colonel
The Torturer
The Traitor
The Bodyguard
The Monster

I'm apparently conservative I loved the old picture back then, and still love - that's why I downloaded it now to keep it in case you really deleted it. It was one of my favourites from the whole (unfinished) series, so it's hard to make me like anything better
But I'm curious as hell as to what will become of the other pictures, if you really remake them, because there were some I would love to see in the quality of your current standards...

Well... that is up to you I guess... I think that it sucks though

Some will actually be changed quite a lot.
Verya will get a new pose for an example, because I don't really like the one he has >_>
Jester will keep his though - since it's still perfect
Sin... well... I'll see I guess

Lawenta In reply to Lienwyn [2009-01-11 20:13:36 +0000 UTC]

Verya was among those I thougt about, yes, since I think his picture didn't come out all that well back then.
Yeah, Jester was perfect, especially his expression

Lienwyn In reply to Lawenta [2009-01-11 21:56:37 +0000 UTC]

Nope, it most certainly didn't.
So I'll work on it...

Jester will only be slightly improved when it comes to the shading and anatomy, yes
Hopefully at least I don't want to ruin the expression or anything...

I'll look forward for the results, then, and keep my fingers crossed

I will too
Hopefully, I will start on Jester tomorrow...

Sounds promising

Verdokai [2008-12-15 04:16:29 +0000 UTC]

I really like the thickness of his lips. It makes it rather clear that he's albino rather than caucasian

This is, really, a great improvement.

Lienwyn In reply to Verdokai [2008-12-15 16:07:31 +0000 UTC]

Thank you
I'm not sure if I thought that far when I drew it, but what the heck

I am glad to hear that.
Now I just have to draw all the other >_>
Before this one gets too old too

I'm looking forward to Sin

Lienwyn In reply to Verdokai [2008-12-16 21:20:35 +0000 UTC]

So do I.
I want to make him right for once, but I probably never will x'D

That is really cool! I love the mask design. You're very good with pencil shading ^^ That's a mystery to me o.o I can't do it at all.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Lienwyn In reply to Iyadaethras [2008-12-06 01:55:17 +0000 UTC]

Thank you ^^ The mask design isn't very constant though >_> I seem to change it for every picture I draw of it

And yes... I have practiced with pencil just about as much as I have practiced with colouring pencils
Practice is the key

skedy [2008-11-24 06:34:46 +0000 UTC]

Much better. The increase in sharpness/clarity or whatever you want to call it really does change the picture. You can really see how you've improved in between the time you drew the first one and redoing this on

Lienwyn In reply to skedy [2008-11-24 12:28:22 +0000 UTC]

Indeed it does. I like the fact that there are darker areas now also... not so flat and everything >_>

Thank you ^_^
I hoped that it would show (although it's pretty impossible for it not to x'D )

skedy In reply to Lienwyn [2008-11-24 13:59:29 +0000 UTC]

I dunno....I mean I haven't improved much in like six years, or more maybe Though I don't draw nearly as much as you....

Lienwyn In reply to skedy [2008-11-24 16:05:49 +0000 UTC]

That might be it you know.
I draw so much that I actually have the time to evolve and improve
